This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Bradford Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3YF.2ACIB/1942.1 Message Board Post: Most likely he did not migrate, but was born in NC, possibly Orange Co., or more likely Granville Co. Based only on the information you gave, I can't help you with this specific John, in 1755 there were 5 John Bradford's in the Orange/Granville Co. area. However, based on him being listed with a David and Thomas, he may be the John mentioned in the will of Phillip Bradford who named 7 children (including sons David, Thomas, and John) and wife Mary. Do you have more information on the John you are looking for? A wife? Children? I maintain a database of NC Bradfords and I might be able to narrow him even further if I knew a name for his wife. Good luck!
